Town Point is a public boat ramp in Mathews County, Virginia, on East River. From here SeaStatus scores 5 waters: Put in Creek, Rappahannock River from Urbanna to Windmill Point, Chesapeake Bay from Windmill Point to New Point Comfort VA, East River and Chesapeake Bay from New Point Comfort to Little Creek VA (Area 7 of 11).
The main water here is Put in Creek. Rivers are scored mostly on wind and current. Wave height is not part of the score, because a river has no real sea state; visibility and comfort make up the rest. Wind, and waves where it reports them, come from NDBC buoy 44058, and tide predictions come from NOAA station 8637199, Mobjack, East River, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 0.9 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
